elcome to the 2023 SVG Sports Production Yearbook, our annual overview of not only the latest remote production trucks to be on the road (be sure to spend some time with our Sports Production Gearbase, beginning on page 199) but also reflect back on the state of the business and the accomplishments from some of the biggest names in the industry. The good news is that, overall, the state of the remote production industry is solid. As you’ll read beginning on page 65, those who offer remote production facilities and services have been faced with a multitude of challenges, but they have managed to weather them and are optimistic about the future. The continued growth in the number of sports events that are being delivered to fans coupled with advances in technologies like IP and the cloud have helped with allowing production teams to work in more cost-effective ways. And it appears that the cooling inflation rate will help improve the bottom lines of contracts that were written in pre-inflationary days and left many of the remote production service providers in a bad spot. One lesson from 2022 is that both clients and providers need to work together to offset unforeseen financial pain. What does 2023 hold? Clearly the nature of this Yearbook will continue to become less about production trucks on wheels and more about production facilities that are connected to or include large data centers. The good news for those who love the freewheeling nature of the sports production industry is that there will still be plenty of need for production trucks to be onsite and for new trucks to hit the road. The better news is that having production trucks onsite connected to production centers afar means less people on the road, a chance for the industry to attract homebodies as well as road warriors, and an industry that is more green and environmentally friendly without needing to be pushed to do so. A key part of those efforts involves the manufacturers and equipment suppliers that are also in the midst of massive change. The 2023 NAB Show promises to see lots of, well, promises around virtualized hardware and cloud-based tools for live production as there are still some key technology providers who do not have a cloud strategy. One thing is clear: the remote production service providers are looking to keep their clients happy and, increasingly, the words “cloud” and “virtualized” are part of contract negotiations and workflows. It’s of the utmost importance to a healthy industry economy that as many vendors are ready to make the leap to those technologies as possible. The Yearbook has always been a place for those in our industry to find answers. Answers about what trucks and remote production service provider can best meet their needs. Answers about key accomplishments and offerings from SVG sponsors. And thought leadership about the future of the business. And with more questions than ever, the answers found in our SVG Sports Production Yearbook are more important — and critical — than ever. We hope you enjoy this year’s edition and please let us know what you think!

Welcome to the 2023 SVG Sports Production Yearbook!

The Sports Video Group Advisory Board comprises leading industry figures who are committed to technical excellence in sports production.

THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE GAME AT HAND When choosing Canon 4K UHD broadcast lenses for a production, you’re not just getting leading-edge 4K specifications and resolution. Their exceptional sharpness significantly improves standard 1080i/720P HD video quality (when compared to traditional HD lenses), as well as enhances that of 1080P HD – which has higher vertical resolution than standard HD. Equally important is the HDR and WCG capabilities inherent in their optical designs. An investment today in Canon’s 4K UHD broadcast lenses provides immediate image quality dividends in today’s standard HD, tomorrow’s possible 1080P with HDR/WCG, while also future proofing for a downstream transition to 4K UHD with HDR/WCG.

SVG Deep Dive

DEEP DIVE An Inside Look at

CBS SPORTS, FOX SPORTS, ESPN, and NBC SPORTS

hen it comes to sports production in 2022, the industry saw a bit of everything. There was the return of large onsite productions, cutting-edge remote and cloud-based workflows, and then, of course, a mix of the two with certain production elements and their related staff working from home or a centralized production facility. The production and technical operations teams at CBS Sports, Fox Sports, ESPN, and NBC Sports found themselves trotting the globe more than ever for the Beijing 2022 Olympics Games, FIFA World Cup Qatar, and a cavalcade of other international events. Late last year, SVG spent some time with the production teams at the leading national networks to learn a bit more about their accomplishments in 2022 as well as their thoughts on the future. continued on page 16

rom the NFL and college football to NCAA March Madness, The Masters, PGA Championship, and everything in between, the CBS Sports operations and engineering teams are on a constantly moving train. VP, Remote Technical Operations, Jason Cohen; VP, Engineering and Technology, Mike Francis; veteran director Mark Grant, and EVP, Operations and Engineering, Patty Power look back at 2022 and address the year’s greatest challenges and triumphs. On how CBS Sports’ operations, engineering, and production teams work together: Power: I’m just so proud of our team and how well we all work together. Our operations, engineering, and production teams are in a good groove. It’s truly a marathon from September to June, and then we have the rest of the golf season. I’m also proud of how well we work with our partners, both leagues and other networks. We do a lot of joint productions with [WBD Sports], ESPN, DirecTV, and others. On how technology has impacted CBS Sports’ golf coverage: Francis: Golf is a unique sport to cover, as anyone who has dealt with it understands. There is a lot of geography [to cover], so you need a lot more cameras and personnel to get everything done. On the technology front though, it’s one of our favorites, because there’s so much [technology] out there. A lot of the golf technology, such as ball tracing, really adds to the coverage in a way that we didn’t have in the past. If you watch a golf shot without a trace [graphic], you have to wait until it lands to understand if it was a good shot. But, with

ball trace, you can get a good idea right away if it’s going to be a good shot or if he shaped that shot to play to the contours of the course. On the challenge of producing golf majors on a massive scale: Francis: The majors are more than just what you see on the CBS and ESPN air. They are multi-show events with dozens of trucks, and everything has to be interconnected. Craig Stevens and Evelyn Jackson on our team do an amazing job at making a seamless transition so it is one massive production facility in these extremely busy compounds. We also have great partners in NEP and Game Creek and F&F. Everyone comes together to operate as one production team. From the NFL to golf and everywhere in between, CBS Sports is constantly looking to add more cameras and technology to its coverage.

Grant on taking over as director for the 2023 NCAA Final Four broadcasts and how technology will play a role in the coverage: Grant: For a long time, I’d go to bed and dream about someday getting all those exciting tools on some of the events that I get to work. CBS has now asked me to direct the Final Four, so I will get my chance to do it. I’m very excited to finally be able to use those tools, but I want to make sure I don’t overuse them. When you get a new toy at Christmastime, you play with it a lot and tend to overuse it; I don’t want to do that. I want to take advantage of the technology and use it in ways to [enhance what] viewers are seeing, but I don’t want to fall in love with [the tools] and overdo it. On how CBS Sports used properties like SRX Racing (prior to its moving to ESPN in 2023) to experiment and innovate live-production technologies: Cohen: SRX Racing has been a hotbed of technology that we’ve always been able — whether [having] multiple cameras on cars, or drones with AR, or AR in the car and the booth. It was a great opportunity for us to test all those technologies so we could apply them to other sports. All these technologies are applicable to other sports; it’s just a matter of having the opportunity to test them. SRX provided us the opportunity to start from scratch and throw everything at the wall that we’ve ever wanted to try. Those opportunities are few and far between, so when you get them, you have to take them. On making high-end technologies usually reserved for A games available to B- and C- level broadcasts: Grant: I do one of the C-level NFL games every week, and it can be hard because Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, our A game, Fox’s A game, or Monday Night Football are loaded and have a lot of technology. I think sometimes that technology works against the C games because we are being compared with those A-level games [by viewers]. But I can’t bring the quarterback on the field with my shallow–depthof-field camera because I don’t have one. Hopefully, it will reach a point where it’s cost-effective enough that we can share these tools with all of our games so there’s not such a disparity between the way the games look. Francis: To the vendor’s credit, a super-slow-motion camera was a pure specialty camera not terribly long ago. Now it’s essentially flipping a switch, and almost any camera can be super-slow-motion [with the correct license]. I think we maybe had one or two slo-mos on C games when I started [at CBS], and we now have multiple angles every week on every show. There has been progress there, and I hope that can continue.

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

On the ongoing technical challenges for AR, and how it could evolve in the future: Cohen: I think AR is not as much of a science project as it was 10 years ago. It’s still not perfect, by any means. I think we’re at the point where we don’t trust it completely and still take a deep breath before we have to use it, which is a problem. But, when it works, it works really well and is a true difference-maker. Francis: When it works perfectly,we love it.But one of the bigger challenges is integrating the tracking, graphics, and cameras and getting everything working together and synchronized. I know all the vendors are out there figuring that out. Ideally, much like super-slow-motion is today, where we flip the switch on a camera, in the future, we’ll execute AR by flipping the switch on the graphics machines and the cameras. Hopefully, that’s where it’s all heading. I hope it will not just be for marquee events but will be something we could execute across all our properties. On why the 2022 ‘NickMas’ NFL game produced by CBS Sports and Nickelodeon was the best vehicle to showcase AR: Cohen: The Nickelodeon [NFL game] is the perfect example of AR at its best-case use. AR is always great when it works on a regular game and you’ve got a giant screen hanging above the stadium, but to enhance a broadcast and bring characters to life and bring a show to life for the Nickelodeon audience is probably the best use case when it comes making AR help elevate a show. It’s a huge step forward in AR technology. On the state of UHD and HDR production and CBS Sports’ future plans: Power: From a sports perspective, we feel pretty strongly about it. There are certainly challenges with the distribution part. There are lots of internal discussions and lots of testing, but we know, from a production and operations standpoint, that we can do it. We have been doing it, so it’s nothing new for us. But it’s very important and a priority, and we’re pushing it internally as much as we can. Francis: What we’ve learned most recently is that, when we’ve done these test shows, AR is no longer the science project it once was. Sure, we give ourselves a little bit of extra time to get the engineering side flipped over and formatted correctly. But we’ve been able to produce our shows without any production sacrifices — super-slow-motion cameras are finally there now, and the graphics are getting there. It’s no longer a major technical challenge on the acquisition side. Certainly, nuance and some expertise are required, especially in video shading, but we’re ready and just waiting for a green light. We hope to flip the entire production in the coming years.

he fall is seemingly always a busy time for Fox Sports, but adding in the globe’s most-watched soccer tournament into the mix makes the broadcaster’s job a lot tougher. From the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the plethora of NFL broadcasts to weekly college football broadcasts and daily college basketball games, the production and technical operations crews have a lot to deal with. Mike Davies, SVP, technical and field operations and SVG Chairman; Brad Cheney, VP, field operations and engineering; Sarita Meinking, executive director, field operations; and Rich Russo, lead NFL director, provided insight into their jam-packed schedule. On what it’s like operating during an intense period of productions, including the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup, the NFL regular season and playoffs, and more, and what needs to be done to produce shows with minimal hiccups: Meinking: We do 16 weeks of college football, and when you throw college football, NFL, and FIFA World Cup into the mix at the same time, it takes a lot of coordination. We’ve re-arranged our staff and stretched [our operations] more this year than we’ve done in a while. This includes maximizing all of our facilities as well in Charlotte and Los Angeles. It’s been a real test to see what we’re capable of. PylonCams were among the 56 camera feeds available to the broadcast of the 2022 USFL Championship Game.

to commercial. Whether it’s going to 100% of the country or smaller sections [of the nation], viewers are seeing these types of pictures all across the board. On using positive momentum and lessons learned from a previous broadcast into the next task on the list: Cheney: We continue to develop as we move through [our schedule]. It’s nice to hit our goals throughout that season since we do so much, but we’re still utilizing these same resources on a regular basis. [For example], one of our teams will do a football game on a Sunday, but then they’ll be back at it again with a college basketball game at Madison Square Garden on a Tuesday. It’s amazing to see the effort and focus that go into these games.

Fox Sports debuted a new studio for the return of Fox NFL Sunday.

Fox Sports kicked off its 2022 college-football schedule with Northwestern vs. Nebraska in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Aug. 27, 2022.

On production and operations teams working together to minimize the stress associated with covering Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, AZ: Davies: Everybody rolls up their sleeves [to do their part], but the secret of making what we do work is the relationship [that we have] between production and technology. We have a really cool collaborative environment, and because of that relationship, it turns into a fun time. Everyone has ownership of their corner of the show, but we to try to support each other as much as we can. On the unique partnership between Fox Sports and NBC Sports to launch the inaugural season of the revitalized United States Football League (USFL) in April 2022: Meinking: We work with partners all the time, but in this situation, it was every week for an entire season. We knew our venue, but we had to figure out how to make [these productions] feel bigger by adding technology. We bounced a lot of things off each other, and it was nice to have each other as you launched something like this. On the invaluable impact of the network’s Home Run Production (HRP) model during this stretch of shows: Cheney: Going into [the season], we knew we wanted to use our HRP workflow because there’s a lot of work that goes into producing a doubleheader in a single location. HRPs became really important to us, and it was an engineering feat by both networks to come up with a solution that would transport over 150 signals back and forth between NBC Sports in Stanford and Fox Sports in Los Angeles.

ore high-speed cameras. Unique audio enhancements. Highend data-filled augmented reality graphics. One-of-a-kind alternate game telecasts. And, of course, ultra high-definition (UHD) and high-dynamic range (HDR). At ESPN, the name of the game is serving the fan and, again in 2022, the broadcaster found ways to make the live game better and better. Ed Placey, VP, production; Kevin Lopes, VP, sports business development & innovation; Carrie Brzezinski-Hsu, VP of ESPN Creative Studio; and Dennis Cleary, Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution’s director, remote facilities reflect on the big accomplishments of 2022. On ESPN’s commitment to innovation in and around the live game broadcast: Brzezinski-Hsu: Our mantra from our group is to take sports from game to entertainment. That becomes our North Star when we choose innovation and technology partners for all things that we do. Our goal is to create and tell stories in a different way. We’ve all told sports stories the same way for so many years, but how do we elevate that storytelling? How do we make it a more immersive experience, especially for those fans that aren’t necessarily core fans? How do we bring that out in the live game? It’s part of the ethos of the Walt Disney Company to really create a cinematic experience. Placey: The word innovation gets thrown around a lot — and it’s a good word — but at ESPN our whole company isn’t responsible for innovation. There’s those of us that keep everybody informed about the technology and innovation that we’ve done in the past and the good lessons and the hard lessons we’ve learned to help make every new step in innovation that much better.

At the 2022 US Open, ESPN produced matches for the first time in UHD HDR. Here is inside the ESPN control room that was producing the UHD feed from Arthur Ashe Stadium.

On the biggest live game technology advancements in 2022: Cleary: We’ve concentrated a lot on UHD. We have select college basketball games, select college football games. We’re doing, for the first time, Monday Night Football in 1080p HDR. We did the US Open (tennis) in UHD at the main [Arthur] Ashe Stadium and 1080p for all the other courts, which was a huge challenge. Looking ahead to 2023, we’re looking to do our Saturday Prime college basketball games in UHD HDR. Another great accomplishment this year was the development of our own in-house drone team. We have more than five pilots and coordinators who support the entire Walt Disney Company. We have over 20 drones that have flown over 300 hours and supported 65 different events. ESPN worked with the NBA and Canon on a volumetric video version of NBA Courtview for an ESPN+ live stream of a game between the Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets in March.

Augmented reality graphics were designed and utilized on numerous events through the year by ESPN, including in its coverage of the 2022 NBA Finals.

Placey: Cameras get talked about a lot and the high-speeds are wonderful. You can’t put enough of them on a game, in my view. But what you’ve seen industry wide is advancement in audio. Not necessarily the technical advancement, but the trust from the leagues. Major League Baseball, allowing us to put microphones on players in game. It’s a wonderful development that isn’t really new technology. It’s a new production approach. The hard work that we do is really earning the trust and we count on our colleagues from our network and from other networks to continue to reinforce that if you trust us, we’ll do good things with the access you allow us. We’re in this together. On ESPN projects that approached the more bleeding edge: Lopes: The euphoria around NFTs has died down a bit but probably the most fun deal I’ve done in the last year was negotiating the first NFT deal for ESPN. We did a partnership with Tom Brady and a company called Autograph and we offered it in the DraftKings Marketplace. Doing something that the company’s never done before was just wildly exciting. Some of the other things my team works on day-to-day are AR, VR, automation, automated close captioning, AI-generated highlights. Basically, anything new, next, and cool, my team gets to work on. Brzezinski-Hsu: We’ve done a lot more work in Unreal Engine and you’ll see it anywhere from the live events in openings for NBA Finals games or in custom animations that we do on Monday Night Football. We’re using Unreal to tell a story and use photorealism to do things in real time. It even blows the minds of our partners at Pixar when we tell them that storylines are starting to reveal themselves before next week’s Monday Night Football game and we’re able to create an animation within those five or six days, be able to render very quickly, and tell a story which really helps us be relevant day of.

t was a busy year for the team at NBC Sports, beginning with the Super Bowl and Beijing Olympics and continuing through with PGA coverage, Sunday Night Football, and much more. Chip Adams, now a consultant but former NBC Olympics, VP of venue engineering; Craig Bernstein, VP, remote technical ops and engineering; Darryl Jefferson, SVP, engineering and technology; and David Mazza, SVP and CTO, discussed the year’s accomplishments. Before the Tokyo Games were postponed, the plan was to do a dualstream HDR and SDR production. But the one-year delay allowed the NBC Olympics team to create a single stream workflow. But when the decision was made to have the main production gallery for the Beijing Games in Stamford rather than Beijing the team had to pivot once again. Dave Mazza explains: Mazza: Our plan was to ship the equipment from Tokyo to Beijing but when we realized [we would move the primetime control room to Stamford we had to mobilize the troops in the IBC, pull out all the HDR gear, and sent it back to Stamford because with all the supply chain problems we probably weren’t going to order enough stuff to convert Stamford to HDR. So that was a big change we made technologically along the way. Having so many production personnel back home for the Beijing Games impacted venue operations. Chip Adams, who was in Beijing, discussed the challenges: Adams: As the playbook changed, we had to downsize our equipment and operations. We reduced onsite venue operations down to about two venues — figure skating and alpine skiing and extreme sports — and we had production people onsite but no talent. Typically, we would have 2,000 people onsite, but for Beijing we only had 750 people.

From left to right: Keith Kice, Craig Bernstein, John Roché, and Ken Goss at Super Bowl LVI.

We also had to move our field shop operations into the IBC because the field shop was outside of the [closed loop to protect against COVID]. We didn’t really have space for it and all of a sudden we’re doing our cable allocations in a small room that had network connectivity so we could do a lot of pre-testing with Stamford. But getting the equipment out was a three-day process because the equipment had to go to a holding area and be tested for COVID. The Friends and Family segments connected athletes at the games with friends and family back home live via two-way video conferencing. Darrell Jefferson discusses the effort and why it was so successful: Jefferson: We put a lot of cameras in the living rooms and backyards of the families of the athletes because they were not allowed in the stands. And it gave us a new vantage point and added a layer to the production. Also moving some of the production back home is something we’ve proven is possible so now we need to figure out when it is appropriate. NBC Sports did the impossible when they produced a Super Bowl in the middle of a Winter Olympics. Craig Bernstein discussed the efforts: Bernstein: The biggest challenge of Los Angeles was the scope as we had six locations throughout the city. We had to do a lot of planning work with the transmission and IT teams to connect everything back to SoCal Stadium. There were eight different mobile units connected from outside SoCal and we built an EVS network with 33 servers and 20 virtual IP Directors to give everyone access to share files and move signals. That worked flawlessly.

Whether it was drones, more HDR, or augmented reality graphics, NBC Sports continued to innovate. Bernstein discussed what lies ahead: Bernstein: It’s a strange time in the industry because there’s so much available to use but at the same time, we face financial challenges. So, it’s a question of how we incorporate all of these new sort of whiz bang things into the shows in a way that doesn’t bust our budget. We sort of have to pick and choose where we’re gonna use drones or AR which is incredible and just gets better and better. But it’s very expensive so we partner with production to prioritize what they really want to do and help them with that vision.

All the networks are weighing how to approach 4K versus 1080p HDR production. Mazza discusses the decision to stick with 1080p HDR: Mazza: Early on we thought the bigger bang for the buck with deployable technology was 1080p HDR. Everybody says, why aren’t we doing native 4K? We don’t obsess on the numbers. At a typical couch viewing room distance, a 65-inch monitor from 12 feet, you can’t distinguish the difference in resolution. But you can see HDR. So, we charted a course to do that. And when 4K won’t cause us to diminish the tool set and water down the ability to tell the story then we’re gonna be doing native 4K.

Thursday Night Football: Inside the Kickoff of Amazon Prime Video’s Historic NFL Package

n September, the NFL kicked off its first-ever broadcast package carried exclusively on a streaming platform with Amazon Prime’s Video’s Thursday Night Football. Over the ensuing 15 weeks, Prime Video’s TNF coverage proved to be among the most robust and technologically advanced productions in the history of sports broadcasting, including the launch of arguably the most state-of-the-art set of mobile units ever built: Amazon’s Prime One and Prime Two nativeIP fleet from Game Creek Video. Here’s an inside look at it was pulled off on an ultra-tight timeline from Marie Donoghue, VP, global sports video, Amazon; Fred Gaudelli, executive producer, Thursday Night Football; JP Palmer, senior manager, live production technical operations, Prime Video; and Jared Stacy, director, global live sports production, Prime Video.

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

On the key production philosophies for Thursday Night Football: Stacy: The most important thing for us from the very start was how we could make Thursday nights special for fans and provide that big-game ritual for fans and families for a long time. That was our north star as we started looking at how we produce the game, how we deliver that game, and who calls that game. And, in terms of the pregame show, we also knew right away that we wanted to take the show on the road every Thursday for 15 cities in 15 weeks. On building the TNF production team behind the scenes: Stacy: We knew [the producer] was one of the first pieces we needed to put in place. And we were lucky enough to bring in Fred Gaudelli. Fred is not only the best person to ever produce NFL football but also a great leader. We started working with him to build this team together. And we will also have

Pierre Moossa, one of the most accomplished directors in the business, sitting next to Fred. Behind the scenes, you can’t do any of this without an incredible operations team, great technical people, and mobile units that can accommodate a show of our size. On the power of Amazon’s new Prime One mobile units: Palmer: From a tool-set standpoint, we are bringing a Super Bowl-level show out every week, and we needed a facility that could support that. We didn’t approach this [thinking about] what [other broadcasters] had done in the past. Instead, we asked, “How can we provide the best customer experience humanly possible?” We started with a clean slate and looked at every single element of the production from that lens. We ended up taking many new approaches with this [mobile unit] so that we could provide our production team with the tools and the core technology to produce the most amazing game possible. On how TNF compares to NBC Sunday Night Football: Gaudelli: I think it will be every bit the production value that I had when I was at Sunday Night Football [on NBC], without a doubt. You’re going to have a telecast that has every technical innovation that football fans love: all the camera angles, all the augmented reality, all the technology that comes with the first-and-10 line, a replay for every camera, expert announcers. It’s going to be as good as, if not better than, any football telecast that [viewers are] used to watching. On the interactive features in Prime Video’s viewing experience: Donoghue: Obviously, we’re an innovation-first company. We approach our broadcast that way, and you’ll see it in the broadcast. The OTT platform provides us a great opportunity to provide not just new ways to engage fans with data,

highlights, and alternate feeds but also almost infinite choice. A lot of what we’re trying to do is cultivate and program the best experience for the most fans. We’re creating a huge, big-tent experience, and then we’ll provide great optionality for fans. Not everybody wants to watch the game the same way. We’re not choosing one type of fan to serve; we’re trying to serve all fans. On whether to differentiate or follow traditional standards in TNF coverage: Stacy: It goes without saying that the bar for primetime NFL production is really high. So we’re more focused on being ‘great’ than we are about being ‘different.’ That said, there are things that are naturally going to differentiate us. For example, Al [Michaels] and Kirk [Herbstreit] are two legendary broadcasters, but you’ve never heard them work together. We think that is going be unique. We also think the cast of characters we’ve got on the pregame show will be very big differentiator for us. From a technological standpoint, we plan to utilize the OTT platform to provide a totally different experience from [traditional linear broadcasts]. At every stage, we asked ourselves, How can we leverage the OTT platform? How can we offer optionality? How can we expand the fanbase? On the unique layout of the Prime One trucks: Palmer: Our primary goal with [the layout] was to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible. Our productioncontrol room is configured in a way that has never been done before, with things like more headroom, two rows instead of three, and rotating back benches so everyone has line of sight to the monitor wall. Every little detail you could imagine has been taken into account, and, even though it’s a big space, it feels very intimate since you don’t have so many people crammed in. On how TNF looked to appeal to football fans used to watching on TV: Gaudelli: NFL fans have a very definitive expectation when they turn on the television. The best people in sports television work on the NFL. When it comes to primetime, I think [fans’] expectations are heightened: if you don’t come with a real quality show, they’re probably not going to come

back. We’ve seen, “Hey, let’s try this, let’s try that,” over the years, and nothing really stuck. Even on Sunday night, we tried a couple of things, but you have to start out with a highlevel production with terrific announcers, and the audience will come because it’s the National Football League. On creating the graphics package for TNF: Stacy: We worked with NBC Sports Group and drive|studio to build this graphics package from scratch, and we are happy with the way that turned out. I’m especially proud of the scorebug, which I think really pops. We’re also leaning heavily into AR graphics, and that is going to be a big part of the broadcast. We’ve got some great opening title sequences and animations that are going to add a dramatic element to every game. We wanted to think big about every single element of the production because, at the end of the day, you want fans to walk away from Thursday night and say, “Wow! that was a really fun

night of football.” Obviously, it all starts with the game, but we want the entire experience to feel like something special, and that includes the graphics and [supporting elements]. On how historic the Prime One mobile units are: Palmer: The scale and magnitude of this project is pretty much unprecedented. And we were trying to get it done on a very aggressive timeline as well as dealing with unprecedented supplychain issues. It’s definitely the wildest build I’ve ever been a part of. We were building a plane while it was already in the air, and we were trying to build it for opening week. That couldn’t have been done without the hard work of our team and our amazing partners. On Prime Video’s alternativepresentation streams for TNF games: Stacy: One of the biggest things we want do is grow the game and broaden the tent of who watches it. We are providing alternate streams like TNF With Dude Perfect and lots more to come. While a lot of kids may not want to watch a full game, they’ll watch a game with Dude Perfect just to hang out with those guys for a few hours. That is where we are taking some big swings [in order to] establish who we are and what Thursday Night Football on Prime Video feels like.

On the weekly Thursday Night Kickoff pregame show: Stacy: We knew right away that we wanted to take the show on the road every Thursday for 15 cities in 15 weeks. We want the city to feel like a character of the show. We want to showcase local flavor, local fan culture. We’re looking to get closer to the players, closer to the action, and bring the amazing environment at the stadium home to fans every Thursday night. Once we decided on that, we started looking to hire some analysts for our pregame show that were fresh off the field so they could really connect with the players and the coaches. We’re going have a desk right next to the field and get those great moments of people walking over to be part of the show. On TNF’s effort to produce the highest-quality picture possible: Palmer: Everything [on the capture side] has to be stellar quality because we are delivering that quality all the way to our customers’ end devices using the lowest compression to create the best picture possible.

The State of the

Remote Production Business CARLYLE

CARZOLI

GARVIN

LEVINE

SULLIVAN

Executive Perspectives

he 2022 SVG Summit Future of Remote Production workshop began with a panel discussion featuring leaders in the remote production industry. The goal? To discuss some of the key business challenges and opportunities that are evolving at a rapid pace. Partially driven by the need for innovation but also driven by an explosion in event productions, everything from the shortage of freelancers to inflation to the future of trucks in a cloud-based world were addressed. The panelists were: Mary Ellen Carlyle, SVP and GM, Dome Productions; Bob Carzoli, Chairman of the Board and CEO, ProCrewz; Nick Garvin, COO, Mobile TV Group; Glen Levine, President, NEP U.S. Broadcast Services; and Pat Sullivan, President, Game Creek Video.

Topic One: The state of the remote production business Mary Ellen Carlyle, Dome Productions, SVP and GM: The work has come back like a tidal wave, but resources have not come back. So, we’re into training new people, new engineers, and I always use the analogy that the business is at the top of the mountain. We just got out of the chalet and people are starting to come back up the chairlifts. But there’s a lot of training going on and we have managed to get all our feeds on the air. We also managed COVID, keeping people healthy and safe. Bob Carzoli, ProCrewz, Chairman of the Board and CEO: The business is back and we’re gonna probably be north of 25,000 events this year. And I think the good news is that, for the first time, our metrics are showing that our travel numbers — despite number of events going up — are actually plateauing a little bit. It’s only a month or two, so it’s more of a data point than a trend, but we’ve made huge investments in training platforms as we work with our union partners and clients. Nick Garvin, Mobile TV Group, COO: The business is really healthy, and we added four vice presidents and four trailers including 51Flex, which is all IP and 1080p HDR. And then cloud control has been a continuous development for us as we completed our 25th cloud control room and those are spread out around the

country, doing about five to 10 cloud-controlled events a day now. We also launched a new division called Edge, which is a softwaredefined, lightweight production system for smaller to mid-tier sized events. And then we also continue to build out our private data center and production hub to support those cloud control rooms and any other productions. The supply chain issues have been real. We had a unit that was held up for one part. I mean, there’s however many thousand pieces and parts in a mobile unit, and we were waiting on one thing to launch it, and that hurts. And that’s tough. Glen Levine, NEP U.S. Broadcast Services, President: As much as things changed, everything stayed the same. Everybody is so busy, and our industry is so fortunate that there’s so much work and we can keep going. We did about 3,000 events traditional with trucks and trucks aren’t going away as we launched a number of them last year. But then we also did close to that number in remote workflows with NEP Vista. Pat Sullivan, Game Creek Video, President: It’s been kind of a remarkable transition as we come out of the pandemic simultaneously building multiple trucks. We launched seven mobile

Executive Perspectives Game Creek Video rolled out its most state-of-the-art truck to date for Amazon Prime Video’s TNF package this season.

Mobile TV Group launched its first active 1080p HDR mobile unit with 51FLEX for Bally Sports.

IP units for our Amazon Thursday Night Football package and, at the same time, our engineering guys invented GCV Anywhere, which allowed our clients to produce their games remotely from their home location. And staffing-wise, we went into the pandemic with 168 people and now we have 277 people working at Game Creek, a lot of whom were added as a result of GCV Anywhere. So, it’s just been an incredible transition over the last two and a half, three years and we’re very excited about the future.

ultimately may not end up being used. And with supply chain issues, which we’ve had, you try and get ahead of that by ordering things in advance really early. Well, it’s hard to order things in advance really early when you don’t know what you’re gonna build. So those are sort of conflicting challenges.

There are plenty of challenges in the business of remote production, not the least of which is how fractured the live production workflows have become. Panelists discussed how the ever-growing number of ways to produce an event is impacting the industry.

Carlyle: We didn’t build any trucks last year but we’re gonna build two next year. Supply chain issues haven’t hurt our business but its postponed it, like the building of Wavelink, a new transmission truck that can do 5G, SRT, low-orbit, and regular satellite.

Levine: The supply chain issue is definitely something that keeps me up at night. With all the projects that we have on the docket going into next year you don’t know if it’s gonna be a trailer that’s not gonna show up or a part from a trailer or it’s gonna be a component for a switcher. But because of the size of NEP, and the global nature, we do get emails that say, “Hey, I have a bunch of switches hidden under my desk in case you need them.” We’re good at sharing resources and moving gear around, but the challenge is with the delays in any type of facility. We’ve all made commitments to our customers, and we have to deliver, so there always needs to be a plan B.

Garvin: One of our challenges is how fractured the live production workflows are. There’s just a lot of different flavors right now and, as a technology company, that’s expensive because we have to invest in these different production workflows that

Sullivan: With regards to supply chain, we had a big issue with one part that was not available. So, we had to pivot and basically go in a different direction. But that’s the beauty of being fortunate enough to work with really smart people is they have the ability to pivot and make decisions when you’re faced with a big challenge.

Bob Carzoli said there is far more demand for people than there is a supply, creating a major crewing challenge for the industry.

NEP debuted a new mobile unit, SRT3, at the Daytona 500 for the 2022 NASCAR season..

Executive Perspectives

PROCREWZA new Content Center at Augusta National gave the compound a first-class look as well as improved workflows.

From left: Dome Productions’ Mary Ellen Carlyle, ProCrewz’s Bob Carzoli, Mobile TV Group’s Nick Garvin, NEP U.S. Broadcast Services’ Glen Levine, Game Creek Video’s Pat Sullivan, and SVG’s Ken Kerschbaumer.

We’ve been fortunate on the trailer side to not run into many problems on that side. Same thing with cameras and our friends at EVS who did a lot of strategic buying in advance and had a lot of their critical parts on the shelf. And if you have a vendor that’s willing to make that kind of commitment then that certainly makes things a lot better. Two of the big concerns in 2022, and still in 2023, revolves around the staffing shortages, primarily freelancers, as well as inflation and its impact on everything from diesel costs to wages and personnel. Carzoli: There is far more demand for people than there is a supply. And so, consequently, we have a number of technicians around the country that want more money. And that becomes a difficult conversation with our clients who have said, “We’ve agreed to pay this. And we said we can’t get anybody at $10 — they want $11 or they want $12. And some of it is supply and demand and leverage and some of it is that the cost of living has gone up, right? And, when you’re working with freelancers, even though we treat them as our employees, we don’t have an employment agreement with an agreed amount of pay and a bonus program. And then technicians have a finite resource, which is their time. And what they have to do is they have to maximize the amount of money they make on every one of those days. And we’ve had some really difficult stories. We had an A1 in LA who called us up the night before a game and said they wanted $100 extra dollars, or they weren’t coming in. We told them no and the next

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

morning they called in with a cracked crown and said they couldn’t make the game. In the past, the client would have called me and say never hire that guy again. But the truth of the matter is you don’t have the luxury of being able to say you did something and now I’m not gonna use you anymore as punishment because there’s a line of people around the block that want do your job. Because now you look around the block and there’s nobody standing outside. They’re all gone. Inflation has also impacted the business, especially as production service providers try to figure out how contracts written in preinflationary days may need to be re-worked in order to make business sustainable. Carlyle: In Canada, we have the same issues of supply and demand as people left the industry. This year we actually ate all our increased crew costs as we understand those were the client budgets. But we have to have those discussions going forward because we won’t be able to survive if we have to keep paying for that. The other thing is drivers. There’s been a shortage of drivers out there, increasing their rate because they want to stay home. And then of course the fuel costs have gone up as well. What we pass on to our clients is extremely limited, but I think what we ask for in exchange is longevity of a contract or an agreement. In exchange for a particular rate that you’re gonna get locked in at there is a ceiling on an annual raise or inflation. If we get longevity, we can live with that.

Executive Perspectives

Levine: I think there needs to be a little bit of a balance and it has been a challenge with our field staff drivers. [Those of us on stage here] have been on conference calls trying to share drivers because there just aren’t enough to move the facilities around. But I think, as far as the cost going up, you know, the cost of money has changed. The long-term deals are great but we’re in the middle. The vendors prices are going up and the clients don’t want to pay more, but the shows are growing. So, we’re trying to achieve some type of balance. And they’re difficult discussions but I think for all of us as vendors to be sustainable and to be around in the next five years we want to make this work.

Sullivan: Inflation was really a double-edged sword for us. The first edge of the sword was our people and we had just gone through a period where we revisited the pay scale for the folks at work at Game Creek and we made big adjustments for a lot of people. And then the next thing you know, it’s January and there’s more inflation and it was discouraging because we thought on one hand, we were really being proactive and working with our folks to help them. And then the second edge of the sword is the cost of diesel fuel and even though the price of gasoline has come down the price of diesel has not. And if you’re a national company like Game Creek, that is a significant hit to the bottom line.

Topic Two: The evolution of workflows and the relationship with traditional hardware manufacturers. Garvin: I think we’re a bit of a confused industry right now. I think the ability to have remote control surfaces wherever you want those, in any flavor, are here to stay because those components are the least expensive. And I think the cameras will be at the events for the foreseeable future. The compute power is really what is in question. Do you buy your own gear and put it in a centralized facility? Do you use a public cloud? Do you use a private cloud? Computers are getting so powerful now that with our Edge division our philosophy is the compute power needed for smaller productions should just be onsite because it’s so inexpensive. But a dominant design needs to take place for the industry. When you look at any industry and any sort of workflow the dominant design actually eases things for everyone.

Levine: I think we’re going to continue to buy 10 of product X and

10 of product Y from the manufacturers. I don’t think that’s going away and it will become about whether certain things are going to move to the cloud or a rack room or a data center. That is the model that we’ve created and that’s where it becomes a utilization game. How often can you use that gear and share it between shows? Garvin: It’s important for us to recommend a bridge to our manufacturers and vendors to get from this old legacy way of doing business of selling one software and one hardware unit per user. A hybrid I wish more manufacturers took is we’ll buy a hundred hardware units, but we also only buy 10 software units. We might only need to use 10 software units at any given moment. And I think that’s sort of a nice bridge to whatever chapter is next. Instead of us just buying software and utilizing general purpose compute power let’s just buy less software but we’ll still give you all the hardware business.

TERRY ADAMS T

here is no sports production on the planet larger than an Olympic Games, and no broadcaster does as much as NBC Olympics in terms of content creation and innovation. Since the 2000 Sydney Summer Games, Terry Adams, retired VP, IBC engineering, NBC Olympics, was at the center of the effort, overseeing the technological infrastructure of NBC’s footprint at the International Broadcast Center. It was a run that saw multiple changes in technology and workflows and a massive expansion of programming. According to David Mazza, SVP/CTO, NBC Sports and NBC Olympics, in more than 25 years as engineer-in-charge (EIC) in mobile units, Adams worked on some of the biggest sports and entertainment shows and had a knack for executing big shows flawlessly. “He also had a great eye for both picture and sound quality and never compromised either,” Mazza added. “He could get along with almost any client and remained calm no matter how big the show or how big the challenge.” From the very beginning of his time at NBC Olympics, Adams was involved with driving innovation. The 2000 Sydney Olympics featured a technological advance that transformed the Olympics technical setup: the “Rack in a Box,” or RIBS, which then-director, technology, Matthew Adams (no relation) conceived after communicating with some Department of Defense logistics folks. “The whole issue with the Olympics is scale,” said Terry Adams. “When you deal with manufacturers, they can have a product working on the bench with, say, 20 nodes on it. Then you tell them you need 250 nodes, and the whole thing collapses. The demands of an Olympics are just massive scale.” Growing up in Cleveland Heights, Adams fit the classic youngengineer profile: he enjoyed taking things apart to see how they work. And the AV club in junior high and high school sparked his interest in TV. But it wasn’t until he got to Ohio University and began working at WOUB Athens, the PBS station affiliated with Ohio University, that he had a sense of a career path. Doing everything led to a skill set that allowed him to interview for a full-time position at Television Production Center (TPC) in Pittsburgh. TPC’s acquisition by Unitel gave Adams a chance to take the next step in development. In 1996, Adams got his first taste of Olympic operations, working on the host-broadcast production of the Atlanta Games, for which Unitel provided facilities. In 1998, Adams joined the NBC Sports family and settled into a role with NBC Olympics ahead of the 2000 Sydney Games. Mike Sheehan, coordinating director, NBC Olympics, said he had the pleasure of working with Terry as a truck EIC prior to their working together at NBC Olympics. “He was magical,” said Sheehan. “What every remote-production person looks for is a smart, engaged truck technical leader who can see what the production people are trying to accomplish and help the team do what is best for the show. Terry was a great truck EIC in his early years, and he was a great partner at NBC.” Moving to NBC allowed Adams to experience having the momentum of a huge broadcaster behind him when working on arguably the biggest sports event in the world. It was especially helpful when it came to discussions with manufacturers, who saw the opportunities and challenges of meeting a literal Olympic-size challenge. And being at NBC placed him at the center of major transitions in broadcast engineering and technology. In 2005, Adams led the transition to HD, which was made in two steps during the 2006 Torino Games and the 2008 Beijing

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

Games. With 2016 Rio and 2018 PyeongChang, NBC started experimenting with 4K HDR, and he oversaw the conversion to enable the NBC IBC to simultaneously handle 4K HDR, 1080p HDR, and 1080i SDR, in both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. At the same time, the IBC was converted to an IP infrastructure, a monumental task in itself — and both these transitions were made in the middle of the pandemic. The biggest challenge of his career, Adams said, was the move to HD. “All the bandwidth went up, and the picture shape changed, which had such an impact on the production folks. Everything was new, and we weren’t even sure all the gear was going to work together.” The move to IP was his next major challenge, and it involved a lot of backup plans and incorporating the IT pros with the broadcast veterans. Lots of learning going on. Working on an Olympics broadcast has historically been one of the best ways to see the world in a meaningful way. The stress is high, but a months-long effort offers a unique opportunity to see how the rest of the world works and lives. As for the evolution of technology, Adams considers the solidstate camera, with CCD-based imagers instead of tubes, was the leap that made the biggest difference. “Before that,” he explained, “we would spend a lot of time aligning the tubes and testing the camera. And, if you dropped it on the ground, you had to start all over again.” Adams’s influence extends beyond sports. He was instrumental in getting the low-light-level Live From Lincoln Center and Live From the Met series on the air, with some of the most magnificent images on TV at that time. He also designed and supervised construction of mobile units and oversaw the transitions from tubebased to solid-state cameras and from analog composite NTSC tape recordings to digital component HDTV files. Mazza said a calm, pragmatic way of solving problems allowed Adams to have such a long and successful career with the Olympics unit. “In such a highly charged environment,” Mazza said, “with all the pressure that builds up on the two-year planning cycle, it can be overwhelming. But TA always handled it with ease and gave those around him a great sense of confidence.” – Ken Kerschbaumer

2022 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame 100

TERRY BRADSHAW T

o make it into the National Football League, especially at quarterback, you need tenacity, poise, fortitude, and leadership. Terry Bradshaw — for 14 years, the talisman of the Pittsburgh Steelers who lifted four Lombardi trophies and has been enshrined in both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame — made his mark in the league and, in a style uniquely his, brought his swagger and humor to sports broadcasting. Throughout his life, Bradshaw has been able to turn the impossible into reality. In 1972, his third full season as a professional and second as a starter, the legendary passer served up the franchise’s first finish above .500 in nine years, the club’s first-ever season with double-digit wins, and the third-ever appearance in the postseason. Prior to hanging up his helmet in July 1984, he made the Steelers an undoubted dynasty in the 1970s, with back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1975 and 1976 (the latter including a game-winning, 64-yard touchdown pass labeled the Greatest Throw of All Time) and again in 1979 and 1980. He was NFL MVP in 1978, selected for three Pro Bowls, and included on the NFL’s All-Decade Team. Nowadays, it is common for high-profile stars to join the commentary ranks, but Bradshaw was one of the forerunners of this career transition. CBS Sports was his first home; he was guest commentator during the 1980-82 postseasons near the end of his playing days and spent six seasons 1984-90 as a game analyst alongside Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer Verne Lundquist. Bradshaw moved from the booth to the studio, serving as an analyst on The NFL Today with Greg Gumbel until 1993. The following year, Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and legendary Fox Sports executive David Hill happened to sit down to watch the Dallas Cowboys–San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship Game on Jan. 23, 1994. Having tuned in a bit early, he caught the pregame show and saw a man he hadn’t noticed before. “I knew Greg Gumbel but not the guy sitting next to him,” said Hill. “He stood up from the desk and walked across the studio to a screen to diagram a play, but it wasn’t really a walk or a strut. It was a confident stride of someone who was totally at home in front of the camera.” With the start of the young sports division’s TV deal with the NFL less than seven months away, Hill needed to assemble a studio team that would engage his new audience. On that NFC Championship morning, he was very impressed with what he saw, and it ultimately changed the trajectory of what was to become the juggernaut that is Fox NFL Sunday. “I knew exactly what I wanted for the Fox Sports pregame show,” said Hill. “To find out he was Terry Bradshaw was a bit of a shock, but he was the perfect television personality because, with him, you always expected the unexpected.” With Bradshaw at the foundation as the show’s offense-minded voice, Hill and his colleagues filled out the table with Howie Long for defensive expertise, Jimmy Johnson for the perspective of a head coach, and Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer James Brown as traffic cop. After the show’s debut on Aug. 12, 1994, the core four began leaving their mark on what has become the template for a successful pregame show. In his own right, Bradshaw has created the mold for a studio analyst: provide insider information of what’s seen on the field but do it with a combination of panache and humor. “To say that Terry Bradshaw is one-of-a-kind would be an

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

understatement,” said Curt Menefee, co-host, Fox NFL Sunday. “TB was the first to bring his personality to the table and, at the same time, lay it all on the table.” Aside from being the de facto face of the broadcaster’s NFL property on the pregame side, Bradshaw can be seen as a figure who summarizes the ethos of Fox Sports: taking your job seriously but not too seriously to enjoy yourself and the people around you. It’s another reason he has been tasked with highlighting other projects and properties of the company, including the debut broadcast of NASCAR on FOX before the 2001 Daytona 500 and serving as a major face of Fox Sports’ sports-betting efforts. In the 29 years since its debut, Fox NFL Sunday has won four Emmy Awards and is a perennial mainstay in the lives of NFL fans on Sunday mornings. For his work on the program, Bradshaw has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst three times and has anchored a changing cast of personalities. “The past 29 years and counting with Terry have been the ride of a lifetime professionally,” said Long. “Back in 1994, an unlikely friendship began, and I haven’t stopped laughing since. He has redefined what the pregame show looks like, and, while many have tried to duplicate his genius, nobody has ever done it better.” Mostly known for playful antics and loud voice, Bradshaw has metamorphosed into a well-known individual who is more than willing to speak about his daily struggles and the side effects of living life as a former NFL player. Despite the hardships and troubles that life can throw at a person, at 74 years old, Bradshaw is still serving up one-liners like bullet passes over the middle and spreading joy to the sports world one Sunday at a time. “We have a saying here that ‘Fox Is Family,’ and Terry is at the very heart and soul of that mantra — a personification of everything this company represents,” said Eric Shanks, CEO/executive producer, Fox Sports. “We are so fortunate to have him because not only is he a beloved, generational talent but he’s an even better person, the type who makes you want to come into work every single Sunday for the almost three decades he has been a part of Fox Sports.” – Kristian Hernández

JOE BUCK W

hat makes a play-by-play man generational? Is it longevity? Joe Buck checks that box: a fixture in broadcasting since 1989, when he first called baseball games for the Louisville Redbirds, a minor-league affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. Is it having a special collection of all the right tools? Again, check. “His voice was butterscotch,” recalled Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer David Hill, former president of Fox Sports. “Magnificent timbre, mellow but magisterial, good breath control, and his use of the pause was masterly.” Is some part of it luck? Being in the right place at the right time for some of the most memorable moments in modern sports: Mark McGwire’s 62nd home run. The David Tyree Catch in Super Bowl XLII. The final out of the Boston Red Sox World Series Championship in 2004 and the Chicago Cubs’ in 2016. The Minneapolis Miracle. “In my opinion, he’s the Curt Gowdy of this generation — doing it all from the Super Bowl, World Series, and U.S. Open to bass fishing, horse racing and everything in between,” said longtime Fox Sports producer Pete Macheska. “His voice is synonymous with some of the biggest moments and brightest spotlights, entertaining without ever getting in the way of the story unfolding on our screens. An industry-defining broadcaster and exceptional person. There aren’t many like Joe Buck.” Or is it something more? Maybe what makes a play-by-play man generational is being just the right voice to meet the moment, however wild or unpredictable those moments may be. “Joe is an amazing talent and one of the greatest play-by-play guys in sports television,” said Rich Russo, a veteran director at Fox Sports who was at the front bench for many of Buck’s NFL broadcasts. “When you turned on a game on Fox and heard his voice, you just knew it was a huge game and a big event. Joe has had some of the most iconic calls in the history of sports television. He has an incredible ability to know and understand the moment and when to make a call and when to just lay out and let the pictures speak for themselves.” Buck got the call-up to the big leagues in 1991, joining his father, Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer Jack Buck, in the radio and television booths for the Cardinals. But it was when Fox Sports launched in 1994 that he got his big break. Hill and Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and former Fox Sports Vice Chairman Ed Goren had already secured their squad, bringing in a team of Hall of Famers, the legendary Pat Summerall and John Madden, to lead its first foray into football. They had even signed another iconic veteran of the business, Dick Stockton. Now they wanted that younger voice, someone who would take the brand into the next generation. “[When we were starting Fox Sports,] I wanted young, fresh voices,” said Hill. “I knew of Jack Buck by repute, and I’m a great believer in bloodlines. Even though Secretariat sired winners like Rising Star and Lady’s Secret, none of his progeny came close to emulating his remarkable career. So it was with some trepidation that I [watched Joe’s] tape. Boom. This kid knew his stuff.” At just 25 years old, Buck became the youngest man to ever call a regular slate of NFL games, and both Fox Sports’ legacy and Buck’s career were headed to the moon. In 1996, Fox Sports landed the rights to Major League Baseball, and Buck became the lead voice on the package, following in his father’s footsteps and calling baseball. Joe Buck and baseball became similarly linked. Over the next quarter century, his voice

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

accompanied every marquee moment for the sports, including 22 MLB All-Star Games and 24 World Series. He was the youngest person ever to call a World Series game for a broadcast network. And there was Mark McGwire’s 62nd homerun in 1998. The Yankees dynasty of the late ’90s. The breaking of the Curse of the Bambino in 2004. The first championships for two long-suffering fanbases in Chicago. Even an unforgettable throwback to his father in the 2011 World Series: when David Freese’s walk-off home run sailed out of Busch Stadium to win Game 6, Joe summoned the words bellowed by his father when Kirby Puckett won Game 6 of the 1991 World Series with a home run: “We’ll see you tomorrow night!” In 2002, he doubled up his duties and became the lead voice of the NFL on Fox, partnered from the get-go with Super Bowlwinning former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman. For more than two decades, the pair has called 280+ regular-season games, 40 playoff games, 18 NFC Championship Games, and six Super Bowls. “Joe does every aspect of the job while never missing a moment,” said Aikman, “always having a keen sense of timing and elevating every meaningful situation. Simply, he is the best I’ve ever seen.” Buck has become a regular guest in the homes of Americans, taking them through the biggest nights of their falls and winters — at times under-appreciated, at others just the voice you wanted calling a play destined for the history books. Through it all, he has won the Sports Emmy for Best Play-by-Play a record-tying eight times. Buck is currently in his 29th season calling NFL games, which has been marked by a monumental shift to ESPN and the iconic Monday Night Football brand. He made the move with Aikman. “Joe is one of my closest friends, a relationship that extends well beyond the broadcast booth,” said Aikman. “To have a trusted friend alongside me, calling some of the most meaningful and significant games in sports history, is an element I cherish. But just has important to me are all the great times we have with one another and our families away from the camera.” – Brandon Costa

DREW ESOCOFF “I

just don’t think they can do it, Dan.” Those were the now infamous last words that NBC Olympics analyst Rowdy Gaines uttered into his headset to his on-air partner Dan Hicks as Frenchman Alain Bernard entered the pool to anchor the men’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. A gold medal and a world record seemed all but secured for the dominant French squad when American Jason Lezak dove in seconds later and embarked on what some have called the greatest swimming relay leg of all-time and what is, easily, one of the preeminent U.S. sports-television moments of this century. Viewers may not have known it, but they had just the man for the moment on their side. The Monday-morning race in China had placed the moment squarely into Sunday-night primetime. Just the night of the week you’d expect the very best from director Drew Esocoff. “Drew has the one trait every great director embodies: he’s always where he should be, when he’s supposed to be there,” said Fred Gaudelli, a 2020-21 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame inductee and Esocoff’s longtime NFL producing partner on both Monday Night Football on ABC and NBC Sunday Night Football. “His shots are always the right shots editorially. He’s not off looking for the most cinematic shot; he’s serving the sports fan and giving them what they need to process what has happened.” A winner of 19 Emmy Awards, Esocoff’s career has included calling the shots on seven Super Bowls, multiple NBA Finals, years of Triple Crown horse races (including Triple Crown winners in 2015 and 2018), and, in what is perhaps his calling card, 23 years (and counting) of directing primetime NFL, including the past 17 on NBC Sunday Night Football. “Drew Esocoff should go down in the annals of broadcasting history as the best sports-television director ever,” said Al Michaels, veteran play-by-play man and 2013 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer, who worked with Esocoff for many years on both Monday Night Football and, of course, Sunday Night Football. “If he doesn’t, it’s simply because he never tooted his own horn. All he did was go to work 1,000% prepared, bring his artistry to the table every single time, and gain the love and respect of every person he collaborated with.” Sports television muscled its way into Drew Esocoff’s life rather aggressively when he was young. After graduating from Colgate University in 1979 with a degree in political science, he landed a job on Wall Street. He was miserable. It took only nine months to pull the plug and dramatically change the direction of his life. He retreated to his hometown of Elizabeth, NJ, to work at a radio station and even took a parttime job at Sports Phone. He also worked weekends as a runner and researcher on college football for ABC. It was in 1983 when he finally got his first fulltime opportunity in the industry, working on studio shows for ESPN. Taking advantage of available opportunities, he rapidly rose through the ranks and directed episodes of SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight until 1985, when he moved to the live-remote-events division. He was soon directing everything at ESPN — college football, college hoops, even hockey — before receiving the call to move over to ABC Sports. At ABC, Esocoff built a reputation for himself as an elite storyteller, an outstanding selector of camera angles, and a humble, easy-going guy to work with. In 2001, at Monday Night Football, Esocoff joined forces with producer Fred Gaudelli to form what would become one of the great producer-director tandems in sports-television history. The two sat at the front bench together for

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

22 straight years of primetime NFL telecasts, six at ABC on Monday Night Football before migrating to NBC Sports together in 2006 to launch NBC Sunday Night Football. “Drew is an incredibly important part of what has made Sunday Night Football such a dominant success story,” said Mark Lazarus, chairman, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “His ability as a director and leader has enhanced many NBC Sports events. He is a positive influence on our culture and in sharing his experience to teach others. He also happens to be a Hall of Fame person. It’s a privilege to be his colleague and his friend.” During Esocoff’s time at Sunday Night Football, the show became one of the most successful properties in sports-media history. It has reigned as primetime TV’s No. 1 show in all key metrics for 11 consecutive years. It has also won the Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series a record 11 times. “There simply is nobody better,” said NBC Sunday Night Football analyst Cris Collinsworth. “Often, when I plan to talk about someone, that person is on the screen before I utter their name. It is amazing. When big moments happen and it is up to Drew to paint the picture with multiple shots, I have learned the best thing that I can say is nothing. We just let Drew do his thing.” Esocoff has met the moment every single time, not just for NBC but for the American sports-viewing public. And he has done it all while remaining one of the more beloved behind-the-scenes figures in the business. “Before I met Drew, I knew his reputation as one of the best directors in television sports,” said Michele Tafoya, the sideline reporter on NBC Sunday Night Football from 2011 to ’21, “but what surprised me when I started working with him was how humble, fun-loving, and unselfish he is. Everyone loves working with Drew because he is collaborative, respectful, and funny.” “It is an honor to be on the same team as Drew Esocoff,” said NBC Sports Chairman Pete Bevacqua. “He is one of the most talented people in our industry, and he is the rare person who can combine endless passion with an amazing and unflinching sense of calm, which sets the tone for all of those that are fortunate enough to work beside him.” – Brandon Costa

ROGER GOODELL A

t a time when Americans find it hard to agree on anything, they agree on this: they love football. Man or woman, from the worker on the assembly line to the IT nerd to the big boss in the corner office to the immigrant selling hot dogs from a cart, the glue is the NFL. The even more common bond is TV. It is literally where the action is. Roger Goodell, commissioner of the league since 2006, knows that. So do the broadcast and cable networks and, now, the streaming outlets. “It’s how we reach the vast majority of our fans,” Goodell told the Los Angeles Times as he toured the brand-new NFL Studio in Los Angeles last year. “We always have to set that bar higher, to give our fans a better experience, to give them greater access, to give them higher quality, to give them something unique.” Like a good quarterback, Goodell seems to have the right touch and a lot of good mentors and, over the past few years, has added some impressive accomplishments to his own NFL highlights reel. In 2021, Goodell and the NFL made history by inking jaw-dropping contracts with broadcast partners ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, and Amazon Prime that will give the league $110 billion in rights fees through 2033. NFL games will also be streamed over the networks’ owned streaming sites. Amazon Prime now streams Thursday Night Football, averaging 11.8 million fans over its first eight weeks. After the first game in its 11-year deal, Jay Marine, VP/global head of sports, Prime Video, announced, “Our first exclusive TNF broadcast delivered the most-watched night of primetime in the U.S. in the history of Prime Video. During our TNF broadcast, we also saw the biggest three hours for U.S. Prime signups in the history of Amazon.” Jeff Blackburn, SVP, Global Media & Entertainment, Amazon said that bringing the NFL to Amazon Prime for Thursday Night Football was a forward-thinking, long-term investment that would not have been possible without Roger Goodell’s partnership and leadership. “He had a strong vision for the opportunities of the rapidlygrowing streaming market — and we’re thrilled with the results so far and excited about the future together,” he added. The league’s own NFL+ streaming service adds more content. And all the big streaming companies are angling to get rights to NFL Sunday Ticket when the well-established DirecTV exclusive ends after this season. The year before the new TV contracts were finalized, Goodell and the NFLPA signed a 10-year labor pact that increased the length of the season by one game, expanded the playoffs to include 14 teams, and created the ability for the league to play more games internationally. The negotiations concluded just days before the nation essentially shut down because of the COVID pandemic, and Goodell and the NFL convened a new negotiation with players and dealt with the crisis rapidly. “What’s amazing is that, under Roger Goodell, the NFL was able to play the entire 2020 season from start to finish without missing a game. That’s just a remarkable accomplishment,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and NFL VP Howard Katz, who constructs the NFL’s intricate media-centric schedule, another Goodell initiative. Goodell joined the NFL in 1982 as an intern and, except for a oneyear detour to the New York Jets in ’83, has been with the league ever since, with increasing responsibility. By 1987, he had become the assistant to Lamar Hunt, then-president of the American

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

Football Conference under NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. “I would call Roger from time to time requesting information and his insight on the league’s direction,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and former CBS Sports President Neal Pilson. “He was always candid and helpful, but you could never pry any of the league’s secrets from him. It was apparent that Pete and, later, [Hall of Famer and Commissioner] Paul Tagliabue had enormous confidence in Roger, and his stature within the league and with the owners continued to grow.” Goodell went on to become chief operating officer under Tagliabue and helped guide creation of the league’s instant-replay system. He played a lead role in creation of the groundbreaking NFL Network in 2003. “The first thing that hit me when I started working with the NFL in 1994 was that it was unlike any sporting body I had worked with anywhere else in the world. They were all bloody smart!” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer David Hill, who was president of Fox Sports when the broadcaster surprisingly grabbed the NFL rights from CBS. “And there was Roger Goodell,” Hill continued, “who always carried himself with an air of authority. In conversations, he never said much, but what he did say inevitably got to the heart of the matter.” A shrewd businessman, Goodell is sometimes perceived by fans as cold and unapproachable. He considers that just part of the business and plays it for all it’s worth. Goodell has been able to turn the jeers into a kind of signature and, in the process, has become something of an Everyman, at least to some fans. The Draft Day event is another example of how Goodell’s NFL has, sometimes subtly, expanded its influence. Under Goodell, the NFL Draft is now a three-day event that has become a city-wide festival in host cities. For the Las Vegas edition this year, the league and city reported that 300,000 people joined in on the hoopla on the Strip and as many as 55 million watched at home. Goodell, in large part because of his handling of media rights, is responsible for that. “He puts a lot of Hollywood executives to shame,” Hill said, and he does that despite “having 32 bosses he has to satisfy.” – PJ Bednarski

ROSS GREENBURG T

he iconic HBO Sports brand is built on superior storytelling. With compelling historical documentaries, groundbreaking behind-the-scenes docuseries, first-rate broadcast journalism, and the biggest fights in boxing, HBO Sports — echoing the network’s slogan — has made a name for itself based on one philosophy: “It’s not sports. It’s HBO Sports.” And perhaps no one has played a larger role in creating that culture of excellence than Ross Greenburg. Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and on-air talent Bob Costas summed it up: “The depth and quality of the programming Ross Greenburg created and oversaw at HBO Sports remains the gold standard.” During a 33-year career at HBO, Greenburg redefined and reinvigorated the genre of sports documentaries, while also maintaining HBO Sports’ status as boxing’s preeminent destination for high-profile fights. During his time at HBO Sports — where he served as VP and executive producer (1985-90), SVP and EP (1990-2000), and president (2000-11) — he helped create HBO’s sprawling library of unforgettable sports documentaries, the trailblazing NFL Hard Knocks and the 24/7 all-access docuseries, hard-hitting broadcastjournalism shows like Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel and On the Record With Bob Costas, and beloved feature films 61 and Miracle (released on HBO and in theaters, respectively). Since departing HBO in 2011, he has continued to solidify that storytelling legacy through the production of dozens of award-winning sports documentaries at his production company, Ross Greenburg Productions (RGP). Among his 100 major television-sports honors, Greenburg has earned eight Peabodys, 56 Sports Emmys, one Primetime Emmy, 21 Cable ACE awards, 12 Cine Golden Eagle awards, and five Video Tape Production Association Monitor awards. “I always respected Ross’s judgment, the team approach he fostered throughout our department, and the empathy he had for his entire staff,” said former HBO Sports SVP/Executive Producer Rick Bernstein, who worked alongside Greenburg for more than 30 years. “I don’t believe there has ever been a department at HBO that was as close and collaborative as the men and women at HBO Sports, which is reflective of Ross, one of the most genuine and innovative executives in sports television.” Greenburg’s start in the business came courtesy of childhood friend and classmate Kyle Gifford, son of former NFL star and Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer Frank Gifford. After Kyle and Ross graduated from high school, the ABC announcer got them gigs as production assistants at the 1974 U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club. Graduating from Brown University with a degree in political science in 1977, Greenburg became a full-time freelancer for ABC Sports. In the early ’80s, HBO’s reach across U.S. households was growing rapidly, and head of programming (and eventual CEO) Michael Fuchs emphasized boosting the network’s sports programming. Although HBO carried plenty of marquee fights in the 1970s, the growth of cable in the ’80s made HBO World Championship Boxing the sport’s home for three decades. In 1985, Greenburg became VP/executive producer and, five years later, was elevated to SVP/EP. Although HBO Sports had dabbled in documentaries for years, its efforts hit a new level in 1990 with the launch of When It Was a Game. For the three-part series on the history of baseball, Greenburg worked closely with director George Roy and producer Dave Harmon to develop what has become the signature style of HBO documentaries. “Ross Greenburg popularized sports documentaries and reshaped an entire genre with his unique approach and vision,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “He’s a master storyteller and one of the industry’s most influential producers.” In the mid ’90s, Greenburg and his team began toying with the

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

idea of a “hard news” program dedicated to sports. He assembled a murder’s row of talent that could take sports broadcast journalism to the next echelon, and thus Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel was born. “Ross is a superb teacher who welcomed a collaborative approach in shaping a story, sharpening journalistic skills, insight, and presentation,” said James Brown, Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer whom Greenburg hired for HBO World Championship Boxing before adding him to the Real Sports roster. “He was effective because he is, himself, a journalist at heart.” “I have been at HBO Sports for more than 25 years, and it has been the finest work experience of my life,” said Mary Carillo, another Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer whom Greenburg initially tapped for HBO’s Wimbledon coverage. “Ross’s sense of story, his understanding of the athletic heart, and his commitment to inclusion are only some of the reasons he’s a Hall of Famer, but they’re certainly my favorite reasons.” In 2000, Greenburg was named president of HBO Sports, and one of his first major programming moves proved to be one of the most important in the network’s history. With HBO’s documentary factory churning out gold, he set his sights on bringing that same elite storytelling to the burgeoning genre of reality TV. Premiering in 2001 with the Baltimore Ravens, Hard Knocks created a genre that is now omnipresent across the sports-programming spectrum, although few programs have matched the quality of the standard bearer. By 2010, HBO Sports was hitting its stride in original programming, but Greenburg said the never-ending grind of negotiating with boxing promoters for the next big fight was starting to wear on him, and he knew it was time to move on. Far from ready to ride off into the sunset, he launched Ross Greenburg Productions with the aim of bringing the level of documentary and reality programming he had pioneered at HBO Sports to others in the industry. “For more than 40 years, Ross has proved his abilities from both a creative and a management standpoint,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus, who started out alongside Greenburg as a PA for ABC Sports in the ’70s and remains a close friend. “The high quality of his work has been clearly evident, and his impact on the industry is enormous. His legacy will be pure excellence both personally and professionally.” – Jason Dachman

MANOLO ROMERO T

here aren’t many sports-production professionals or engineers who are known in nearly every corner of the globe. And there are even fewer who are known by their first name. But, for the tens of thousands of broadcast professionals who have worked on the Olympic Games in recent decades, there is only one Manolo: Manolo Romero, who was CEO or general director for the host operations on 10 Olympic Games, beginning in 1992. And, as each Olympics production grew in technical complexity, helping popularize formats like HDTV or stereo (or even color TV) on a global scale, Romero played a part in turning promise into reality. “Manolo had to all but invent the host-broadcast concept in 1982 for World Cup and for ABC in Los Angeles and then, in reality, in 1992 in Barcelona,” said David Mazza, SVP/ CTO, NBC Sports and Olympics and Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer. “He is the driving force behind modern Olympic coverage.” Romero, who passed away in 2022, boasted a career defined by working with the likes of Mazza and others to make sure the host-broadcast feed meets the needs of a global sportsdistribution and -production community that sometimes has very different capabilities but always has a wide range of budgets. Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) was able to sit in the middle and create a rising tide that lifted the quality of Olympics coverage for sports fans everywhere. His career began in 1965 when he landed a job in the engineering department of Spanish TV network TVE. While there, he was appointed chair of an EBU working group focused on how to exchange TV programs internationally via satellite, a role that would lay the foundation for a future in which he would work with dozens of broadcasters on the world’s biggest sports event. “I was able to work with many international broadcasters as we tried to set up common standards for transmission,” Romero said, “and that helped me as I needed to learn how to make sure they understood me. But also I understood them; I got to see how things were done in other parts of the world.” In 1982, Romero oversaw Spanish Television operations at the World Cup which was held in Spain. And, in 1984, he would work ABC as director of European Operations and head of the international operations for the 1984 Olympics. The 1984 Los Angeles Games essentially gave birth to the hostbroadcast model: ABC Sports had its own IBC, and the international broadcasters had theirs. The IOC liked the result because rightsholders were able to more easily get the type of coverage they desired. In 1994, Romero organized a new company called European Sports International. Owned by the EBU, it covered the 1994 World Cup in the U.S. In 1996, he followed that up by overseeing them for the Atlanta Olympics and, in 1997, established International Sports Broadcasting, serving as president/CEO. Under his leadership, ISB was host broadcaster for the 1999 World Alpine Skiing Championship in Vail and both the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games (it was also host broadcaster for the Paralympics in Salt Lake City, Athens, and Torino). “He was in charge of the whole operation and host-broadcaster organization,” said Terry Ewert, former coordinating producer and head of production, Atlanta Olympic Broadcasting, NBC Olympics, “and I found his feed to be exceptional, like everything that he produced.” Tom Sahara, Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and former,

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

VP, operations and technology, Turner Sports, worked on the 1996 Atlanta Games and worked closely with Romero. “Attention to every detail is just one of the many lessons that Manolo taught those of us who worked for him,” he said. “He demanded that we perform as well as the athletes. In many ways, we were his Olympians.” In 2003, Romero was named CEO of OBS and in 2006 was responsible for the successful broadcast of the Torino Winter Games, serving as CEO of the Torino Olympic Broadcasting Organisation (TOBO). For the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Romero and the OBS team were responsible for the successful production of more than 5,000 hours of television coverage, all provided in high definition and 5.1 surround sound, marking a first in Summer Games broadcast coverage. Through it all, Romero was front and center at development of key technologies, such as the move to color TV, solid-state cameras, digital tape formats, tapeless workflows, HDTV, SDI, and UHD as OBS and rightsholders around the globe ensured that the Olympics always lead the way in innovation. Peter Diamond, EVP, Olympic programming, NBC Olympics, saw Romero’s innovation as part of what makes OBS extraordinary. “He brought the Olympics to viewers around the world in ways that were never seen before and in ways that could only be imagined.” Romero retired after the 2012 London Games, but his influence will carry on forever. Current CEO Yiannis Exarchos cited Romero’s work ethic, total commitment, human warmth, and capacity to solve problems while innovating as the bar OBS tries to clear every day as it gears up for the next Olympics. “He could deliver for today while constantly thinking of new ways of improving the experience for viewers,” Exarchos said. “That is the measure by which I evaluate myself and our team every single day.” David Hill, former Fox Sports chairman and Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer, summed Romero up this way: “The Olympic Games in the years since Manolo and OBS took over stand as a permanent legacy to his brilliance. He truly is a giant.” – Ken Kerschbaumer

2022 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame 124

DEENA SHELDON I

n 40 years as a camera operator and technical innovator, Deena Sheldon has truly done it all. Not only has the nine-time Sports Emmy Award winner worked nearly every major sports event many times over, but her trailblazing work behind the camera has helped revolutionize the way live sports broadcasts are presented. “A simple listing of the events Deena has covered over her long career in sports TV is impressive enough and speaks to her mastery of her craft,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer Bob Costas, a longtime friend and mentor. “What that list would not reflect is Deena’s endearing personality. It could be 5 degrees below zero in Green Bay, and, even under those brutal circumstances, her ever-present smile, love of her work, and appreciation for her colleagues shine through. Deena is not only great at what she does; she is simply one of the nicest people I have ever worked with.” On the lengthy list of events for which Sheldon has run camera are 12 Super Bowls, 17 Daytona 500s, 17 Indy 500s, 24 Triple Crown races (including two Triple Crown winners), six US Open Tennis Championships, and three Olympic Games. She spent 12 years shooting ABC’s Monday Night Football and another 12 shooting NBC’s Sunday Night Football in 36 years covering the NFL for various networks. “Deena is one of the most prepared and knowledgeable camera operators I’ve ever worked with,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer Fred Gaudelli, who has worked alongside Sheldon regularly during his 33 seasons producing NFL games for primetime. “Her ability to identify players, coaches, general managers, owners, and wives is unparalleled. Her ability to get those shots prior to being asked is part of what separates her as a member of the crew. Her devotion to making the show great is on display for all to see just by observing her work.” Sheldon’s accomplishments aren’t limited to sports, however. She has also been an integral part of the coverage of nine presidential inaugurations and three presidential funerals, as well as countless presidential debates and political conventions. “In the trenches, she was always a step ahead, creating the right shots at the right moment and capturing the big action down to the smallest, impactful, emotional details,” said legendary ABC News director Roger Goodman. “She always had the shot.” In addition, she is a technological innovator who helped create multiple custom-camera systems and a pioneering 3D producer, having worked on eight 3D feature films and served as co-VP of the Sports and Entertainment Division of Cameron | Pace Group for Oscar-winning director James Cameron and Emmy Award-winner Vince Pace ASC during the heyday of live 3D sports broadcasts and 3D concert films in the 2010s. “Deena Sheldon is built for this job, mentally, physically, and professionally,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and on-air talent Lesley Visser. “Have you ever seen her high-beam smile right before she goes into the middle of a postgame scrum to get the perfect shot? She’s enormously talented, people love her, and she gets the job done. Those of us on this side of the camera get to thank her every time we work with her. She does everything at the highest level.” In 1985, she started at CBS O&O WSBK-TV Boston, covering the Red Sox and Bruins. She soon found herself operating the first-base– dugout camera for all Red Sox productions and, by 1986, was regularly running camera on NFL and MLB broadcasts for various networks. In 1994, ABC’s Monday Night Football director Craig Janoff and producer Kenny Wolfe offered Sheldon her first opportunity to operate a handheld camera, during a Steelers-Vikings game. She would go on to capture some of the most iconic moments in NFL history during 12 years working handheld, sideline cart cam, and multiple other positions on MNF before transitioning to NBC’s Sunday Night Football in 2006.

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

“Deena is today and was for us at ABC Sports a remarkable and very talented woman, who — during Monday Night Football, the Kentucky Derby, or any other presentation — completely understood the needs of the production and her purpose with fitting in,” said Janoff. “She always fulfilled the need of the producer and director and, beyond that, brought to the table a great attitude and consistency, always with a smile.” That energy is especially apparent whenever she works the NFL sidelines, where she has arguably made her most indelible mark on the art of sports storytelling. “Deena has always prepared like a coach, talent, or producer,” said longtime NBC Sunday Night Football director and fellow 2022 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame inductee Drew Esocoff. “She knew every nuance of the subject matter, whether it was for a football game or a horse race. She is the consummate pro.” In 2005, Sheldon and her longtime partner in business and in life, Jeff Zachary, were asked by Vince Pace to join him at his company PACE. Sheldon and Zachary contributed significant input in designing and testing the 3D-camera rigs that would be used on the early live-3D sports productions and 3D concert films of the early 2010s. “Deena has been well-known for her camera expertise for years,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and Hall of Fame Chairman Ken Aagaard, “but what stands out about her in my mind is her ability to innovate new types of camera systems that have been able to enhance sports broadcasts.” Throughout her career, Sheldon has also worked closely with major camera and lens manufacturers, including Canon and Cartoni, to field-test products and provide invaluable feedback to improve products for the industry at large. “Deena Sheldon is a passionate, strong, trailblazer who contributes to prove women’s excellence as a camera operator in a male-dominated industry,” said Cartoni President/CEO Elisabetta Cartoni. Canon USA National Accounts Sales Director Rich Eilers added, “You always knew how to find Deena at the NAB Show: she would be in our booth on the pedestal holding court by one of our longest field lenses, with a crowd of Canon engineers surrounding her. Her incredible operational knowledge would have all of our engineers busily taking notes to understand from Deena how to make our lenses more comfortable and efficient for the camera operator to use. From those discussions, lots of important functional improvements were made that all big lens operators benefit from today.” – Jason Dachman

DARRELL WENHARDT W

hat do the NFL Network, the MLB Network, KABC Los Angeles, and WMAQ Chicago, and the PGA TOUR’s new production facility (set to open in 2025) have in common? 2022 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame inductee Darrell Wenhardt. Currently principal consultant at CBT West, he has played a major role in bringing together countless opinions and created the workspaces and workflows that have been crucial to the sports-broadcast industry for nearly five decades. Over the years, he has worked with hundreds of types of organizations, and figuring out what an organization aims to create means countless meetings with countless departments to make sure that the workflows will meet not only the need but the work environment. “What I like is being able to start with a clean slate with a client and dig into what they are trying to produce,” he said of his professional philosophy. “It’s probably overused, but it’s still about storytelling and being able to meet expectations within a client’s budget constraints. We need to understand exactly what their production requirements are before we even begin to apply technology to it.” When it works, the new facility can also help reshape the culture. Wenhardt cited his work on the NFL Network’s facility in Culver City, CA, in 2003. “We worked with [Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer] Geoff Mason through the whole process,” he explained. “What was unique — and a key factor — was that NFL Network CEO Steve Bornstein and Geoff brought NFL Network host Rich Eisen in early. He became a critical player in bringing the right energy to the set and did it in a way that gave the network a unique voice. It was one of those cool times when we got the talent involved.” The result was a facility that laid a cultural foundation for the new NFL Network facility. A few years later, Wenhardt helped MLB Network launch in a brand-new facility. Both the NFL Network and MLB Network projects offered an opportunity to develop new technology to provide fans with direct access to teams and players. Tony Petitti, former president/CEO, MLB Network, said Wenhardt played a huge role in the launch of MLB Network. “His innovation and implementation of the Ballpark Cam system was truly a gamechanger for MLB Network,” he said. “The system connected us to every team and allowed us to show images from every ballpark at any time with a simple toggle on a controller in our control room. We conducted thousands of interviews with players, managers, and coaches. Darrell’s vision and his execution were flawless.” After graduating from San Diego State University, Wenhardt got his first full-time job as a teleproduction engineer at Grossman Community College, where he learned a lot about system design and spent a lot of time imagining how to build better equipment that students would destroy in a semester. This led to a chance to begin a business in 1974: Centro Corp. The company was building systems for various schools in California and also realizing that it could make more money on integration work than on designing and building equipment. Growth, however, led to cash-flow problems because Centro was working on multimillion-dollar jobs that required capital outlay for materials and equipment. Several years later, one client, Salt Lake City-based Skaggs Telecommunications Services, decided to acquire Centro and make it a wholly owned subsidiary. Wenhardt declined the offer to move. “I met Darrell in the early ’80s when I was at NBC and needed a truck built in a very short time for golf and was fortunate to have

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

found Centro to figure out how to do the impossible,” said Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer and Hall of Fame Chairman Ken Aagaard. “Darrell’s ingenuity in pre-building the guts to the truck in his shop and sliding it into the truck that was completed only weeks before we needed it was sheer brilliance. Especially when it worked. We used the truck for multiple years.” By 1988, after he had gone independent, relationships with Hall of Famer George Wensel, founding partner and president, NEP/ MPS, and Aagaard led to the formation of a new company: Creative Broadcast Techniques (CBT). For more than 20 years, CBT was at the center of not only the facilities described but also the America’s Cup in 1992 and 1995 and even FIFA World Cups in 2002 and 2006. From the mobile units to the brick-and-mortar projects, Wenhardt built a solid reputation for understanding where technology was headed, how best to apply it to a client’s needs, and how to deal with a wide variety of pressures. Not to be left out of the latest in sports-video production, Wenhardt and his CBT Systems Team found themselves in the middle of esports development — designing, building, and launching Riot Games’ first venture into studio and full REMI production with a temporary facility in Manhattan Beach, CA, and an 18-camera flypack for events in Cologne, Germany, and Seoul. Since 2016, Wenhardt has devoted countless hours to development of a new-from-the-ground-up Digital Broadcast Center for the PGA TOUR. Set for completion in January 2025, the project includes development, with NEP, of a completely new set of advanced-technology remote trailers capable of producing CBS, NBC, and ESPN weekly coverage of all PGA TOUR tournaments, plus adding in the TOUR’s new Every Shot Live multichannel streaming service. Luis Goicouria, SVP, media, PGA TOUR, said Wenhardt has been a rock for the PGA TOUR and its ambitious project to build a new, greatly expanded production facility. “His knowledge of the broadcast technology needed in this type of facility is truly world-class, and he has been an integral part of every conversation,” Goicouria explained. “Simply put, we would not have been able to pull it off without his expertise and wisdom.” – Ken Kerschbaumer

SPORTS PRODUCTION 2023 YEARBOOK

Zero Density has gone from strength to strength in 2022. After winning a Product of the Year award at NAB, the company previewed several immersive virtual studio and AR/XR graphics products at IBC. These included RealityHub 1.4 — a UI that lets broadcasters control virtual studios from a web browser — and Reality 5, a realtime VR/AR/XR platform based on Unreal Engine 5. Zero Density’s products continued to power several impressive sports broadcasts in the USA. Fox Sports, for instance, leverages a virtual studio powered by Reality to cover the NASCAR season for the last 4 years. Featuring a 50-foot-by-47-foot green screen, the studio gave Fox Sports the ability to shoot 360-degree coverage.

Ready to store mass data at the edge with a simple storage management platform that requires little to no need for direct intervention at the drive level?

VIDEO CAPTURE AND DIGITAL DELIVERY

No other Immersive System in the world is doing what C360 does. C360 captures a huge field of view - LIVE, allowing broadcasters to re-frame content and create the most meaningful and important replays.
